Any other year, or launch, and I'd be scrambling right up to the
last minute. This time, it's 2 weeks out, an I couldn't be MORE READY!!!!
😭😭😭
Rocket is ready (Intimidator 5, aka "Eagle One", on an M1419),
Launch pad is ready, RV reservation ready...
Now it will just gather dust for who-knows how long. Aaaaaargh!!!!
Oh Well! Maybe next year on an "N" or an "O". 😲😲😲

Hi Everyone,
I was hoping to have some good news for today about our
October Skies launch, unfortunately we're going to need to cancel the
event this year (both in Fresno and BRD).
- Fresno "now in the Red" means we're 300% worse than when
we shut down in March - real Hazards still exist.
- Staying in compliance with City and State ordnance means I
now need to operate and manage a HAZMAT team in addition to launch
operations.
When you look at the logistics of what's required to run a
launch of this magnitude and also stay in
compliance with COVID safety & social distancing
requirements, it's almost impossible even if I had
the additional volunteers required to pull it off.
Please stay tuned in the months ahead, we're hoping we can
have a Christmas Party and open up early next year.
Thank you all very much for your patience and understanding -
stay safe and hope to see you all soon!
Best regards
-James

Please Stay tuned, there is some discussion of this
happening in Helm if they open up the restrictions
I'd say everyone hang on for another 24hrs before
taking yourself off the list.
Thank you

Please remove me from the launch list. I have a

I’ve
replied twice off-list to jafrado@xxxxxxxxx
mailto:jafrado@xxxxxxxxx to say I cannot attend and ;
should be taken off the log so that someone on the wait
list can take my spot. I haven’t received a reply, so
I’m not sure if my off-list replies are not getting to
you or if there just hasn’t been a reply. So I’m
sending this final reply to the whole list just to be
sure it is getting through and someone else can take my
spot and start making plans.

Hi TCC, James and all,
We should also ask at this point for everyone on list
to re-commit if coming, move through the waitlist as
possible so people have time to prepare.
I
need to drop out, just got handed the personal/work
combo schedule problem and can't do this on the
October timing, looking forward to launching at
Maddox Dairy.
Blanked my space #9 on sheet, but will leave it up to
you to process through waitlist and other people who
have to cancel.
Hope you guys have great conditions!

Subject: [tccrockets] Re: October Skies
Hi Folks,
Since time is of the essence, COVID is still
looming, we have a limited number of attendees,
HUGE interest, we'd like to do the below to
make sure everything is fair and square:
- If you've not flown at a TCC launch, your
name is not on the sign-in logbook (and therefore
won't be on the waitlist).
- This launch is intended for TCC regulars;
since we're the only club
that does not charge a yearly membership fee,
we will go by the club
database which means if you signed up for the
TCC Chat after I made
this announcement, you're not going to make
the waitlist.
- If you have not been to a Blackrock Desert
(BRD) Launch before you should
pass on this launch (there will be minimal
services and very few people
should you get lost or need to find your way).
- If you are not a flyer, you should not be on
the list.
- Limit for non-fliers, your significant other
- no exceptions
(Rocket families are excluded).
- Limit for Junior-TRA/NAR - your mentor or
ride to the launch site.
- People who are only coming for 1-day should
NOT be on the list.
- People who plan to certify need to contact
Gary Walker, Richard King or myself ASAP
and let us know that this is your intention.
If you plan to come out
on Friday for a cert flight and that's it,
this is not your launch,
we can do that when COVID clears up ...
All this being said, could everyone send me
email off-list so that I can update
the waitlist? There are a few people who are
regulars who would like to come and
they need to make plans. Separately, I need to
maintain my attendance list for
BLM verification.
Thank you very much for your understanding.
Best regards

I was there last weekend for AeroPAC
launch. They gave coordinates. I’ll assume that
TCC will be in the same or similar spot. You just
drive to the coordinates. The area is just so
vast and there are no landmarks. Other than the
heat it was incredible. I’ve never seen so many
stars.
It was even easy to see the Neowise
comet with the naked eye. But I was able to get
some great shots with my camera too.

Notes/Answers to Questions
Helm launch - still not off the table,
but no permission yet and not looking
good right now (the Fresno, Kern,
Kings, Madera, Merced, San Joaquin,
Tulare and Stanislaus counties in
California were
declared a hotspot last week with
11-18% infection rates versus 7.5%
statewide).
Blackrock Desert launch - permission
for 50 people (the Humbolt, Pershing,
and Washoe counties in Nevada currently
open)
Place to camp - yes!
Days: Thursday Setup, Friday, Saturday,
Sunday
Usual Night Launch on Saturday
Altitude: 100K - Standing
Thanks everyone - I will have more
details on requirements soon and
keep everybody apprised as things
progress.
Best regards

I hate to bring
this up but I would sure like to
ride with someone for me to go.
My Honda Fit is 12
plus years old, it actually broke
down a couple months ago in a round
trip attempt to Arizona and I do
not want to risk that again. I will
help pay for gas (or completely
cover the gas of the party I ride
with). I would ask only to take one
small (not large) rocket project or
none at all just to be there.

Hey Folks,
Assuming
we don't get a break (from COVID)
...
If we had
October Skies at Blackrock this
year, how many people would
attend? Limit would be 50 people
...
Could I
get a head count?
Thanks!
